The only film in the history of Friendly Fire to get a perfect 10 nose stitches from all three hosts when we rated the film. It is therefore one of the giants of the genre. But way before his masterpiece-slash-second-to-last-movie, Peter Weir made a name for himself as one of the leaders of the Australian New Wave; a movement that saw the cinema of Australia surge in popularity among international audiences. If you’ve seen films like Walkabout, Mad Max or Crocodile Dundee, you’ve seen some Australian New Wave. Which spanned the late ‘70s up until the end of the ‘80s. Today’s film is from right in the middle of that movement, and was a big part of how Peter Weir was able to get jobs directing big American and international productions later in his career. Gallipoli is a war film that takes its sweet time getting to the war. It’s a film about a pair of talented foot-racers that is not in a particular hurry to tell how they went from being a couple of country bumpkins to a couple of enlisted men in the Light Horse, a division of the Anzac troops being mustered in Australia, sent to Cairo for training, and then on to Turkey, where they serve as cannon fodder to take some of the heat off of the British troops that are trying to take control of the Dardanelles from the Ottomans amidst some of the bloodiest fighting of World War One. The Gallipoli campaign was a hugely important aspect of the First World War, having accounted for a quarter-million casualties on—[clears throat]—both sides. [Clears throat.] It was a great victory for the Ottomans and a devastating defeat for the Entente generally and Winston Churchill personally. There’s a big story to be told about how and why this campaign happened. But that’s not the perspective of this film. Rather, this film is doggedly interested in what motivates young men to join a war that couldn’t possibly be more remote to their lives and where they live. Mark Lee’s Archie and Mel Gibson’s Frank don’t need to go to war; and in fact, they could be world-class athletes instead! But they are drawn to the adventure of war. That adventure is not what it seems, though. The film isn’t a coming-of-age story, because it ends brutally and abruptly when Mel Gibson is unable to reach the front lines in time to call off an ill-conceived advance. Archie is killed in one of the all-time bummer freeze-frames to end a movie. Frank is fast on his feet, but not fast enough. We don’t stop them there; they could end up here. Today on Friendly Fire— Gallipoli! [Music intensifies, then ends.] 00:02:43 Music Music “War” off the album War & Peace by Edwin Starr. Impassioned, intense funk. War! Huh! Yeah! What is it good for?! Absolutely— —nothing! Uh-huh! War! Huh! Yeah! What is it good for?! Absolutely— —nothing! Say it again, y’all! War! [Song fades down and plays quietly as the hosts speak.] 00:03:00 Ben Host Welcome to Friendly Fire, the war movie show with the hosts that are crude, undisciplined, and the most ill-mannered podcasters you’ve ever encountered. I’m Ben Harrison. 00:03:09 Adam Host I’m Adam Pranica! Pranica 00:03:10 John Host And I’m John Roderick. Roderick 00:03:12 Ben Host I was gonna do that in the Australian accent in which it is uttered. [Laughs.] When, uh, in the movie. And then I found this goof! I’m gonna get the goof out right away. 00:03:23 Crosstalk Crosstalk John: Get it! Adam: Whoa. 00:03:25 Adam Host Earliest goof! 00:03:25 John Host Go! 00:03:26 Ben Host [Sounds of telegraphed Morse code play in the background] The distinctive—quote—“Australian” accent actually didn’t emerge until after World War One! 00:03:34 John Host What?! No. 00:03:37 Ben Host This is—this is something I’ve been trying to corroborate through internet research. And… I am… not totally sure I—I can. 00:03:47 Adam Host That seems impossible! 00:03:50 John Host They’re saying they just had British accents and then after… they developed an identity in the 20th century they started talking like that? 00:03:57 Ben Host Yeah! Because it was like—I mean, I think it was kind of like, a— there was kind of a something distinctive about the way Australians spoke? Because it was prisoners from all over the British Isles that were sent there? But there must’ve been like a kind of average— averaging effect. 00:04:15 John Host Yeah. 00:04:15 Ben Host But this—whatever this commenter is saying is that—is that like— like—like the [imitates thick Australian accent] “G’day, mate!” Like, that thing. 00:04:22 John Host Wow. 00:04:23 Ben Host Didn’t happen until after World War One! And that’s amazing to think about! 00:04:27 Adam Host You know, one person had to have started that. Right? Like, the Chet Haze of—[Laughs.] 00:04:31 John Host Yeah. Some—some super cool dude. 00:04:33 Adam Host Of Australia started doing it and everyone else is like—what are you—why are you talking like that? And he was like— 00:04:37 John Adam Host Before that, they were just like—[makes grunting and scoffing noises, then adopts snooty British accent] “Put all the shrimp on the barbie!” [Multiple people laugh.] 00:04:43 Host This is how we speak now! 00:04:44 Crosstalk Crosstalk John: Yeah! But he was like— Adam: And then it just spread! [Laughs.] 00:04:46 John Host [John speaks with such a caricatured Australian accent that his sentence is unintelligible.] [All laugh.] Well, listen. To all of our Australian and, uh, and— 00:04:52 Crosstalk Crosstalk John: —Anzac listeners— Ben: We don’t know if Australia’s— 00:04:53 Ben Host —still gonna be there by the time this gets—comes out. 00:04:55 Crosstalk Crosstalk John: That’s true. Ben: ‘Cause it’s— 00:04:57 Ben Host Y’know, the country is currently ablaze. 00:04:59 John Host But we do have a lot of listeners there and so, uh, of course we mean you no more disrespect than we normally direct at you. [Ben laughs.] Just the standard amount. But uh—but please! If you, uh, if you have additional information about the Australian accent, just email us at… GoFuckYourself— [Ben laughs.] —@MaximumFunkenstein.sex. Uh, in America, right, the— Australians are fetishized. Um, in—and we have, like, we have… what, a pantheon of like the ten great Australians? There’s the guy from Midnight Oil. Uh— 00:05:35 Adam Host There’s Crocodile Dundee. 00:05:37 John Host That’s right. There’s Mel Gibson. 00:05:39 Adam Host Uh-huh. 00:05:39 Ben Host Yeah. 00:05:40 John Host There’re, uh, INXS, the band “In Excess,” and of course, AC/DC, the greatest of all ambassadors for Australia. 00:05:46 Adam Host True. 00:05:47 Rob Schulte Producer [Audio clip of radio static and tuning in.] Producer’s note: We forgot Steve Irwin! The best Australian of them all! [Audio clip of radio repeats.] 00:05:54 John Host Uh, and then we have a lot of actors. Who are Australian. 00:05:59 Ben Host It’s a shame that all those Australian actors are generally suppressing their accent. 00:06:03 Crosstalk Crosstalk John: Yeah! They do! They try to talk like— Adam: We’ve got Nicole Kidman? 00:06:05 John Host That’s right. But— 00:06:06 Adam Host We got Hugh Jackman. 00:06:07 John Host Yep. Keep going. 00:06:08 Adam Host We got… Heath Ledger? 00:06:10 John Host Oh. I didn’t know that. Heath Ledger is Australian? Or was? 00:06:14 Adam Host I just typed in “Australian actors” into google and this is what’s come up. 00:06:17 John Host Heath Ledger? I thought he was from Brokeback Mountain! 00:06:20 Ben Host I feel like a lot of those, um… male actors that are—like… you’re like, why is this guy the star of a huge Hollywood movie? Uh— 00:06:32 Crosstalk Crosstalk Ben: —guys that we’ve— Adam: The Hemsworths, you never ask that question. 00:06:34 Adam Host The Hemsworths— 00:06:35 Ben Host Yeah. 00:06:36 Adam Host —all Australian. 00:06:37 Ben Host It’s very clear. 00:06:37 Adam Host Yeah. 00:06:38 Ben Host Very clear why those guys are the stars of huge Hollywood movies. But… I don’t know! Mel Gibson: technically an American. I think he—I think he was born in New York and then moved to Australia at a young age.

  • Space Sound Maker (Pew Pew Blaster SFX)
    Space Sound Maker (Pew Pew Blaster SFX) Objective: ​ Be Han Solo with a homemade blaster sound effect. Difficulty Level: Easy (ages 8-14)/Medium (ages 6-8) Materials: ​ ● Large paper or plastic Slinky ● Scissors ● String Procedure: 1. Cut two lengths of string about 2 feet long, and tie them to either side of one end of the Slinky (one on each side of the same end). 2. Hold the Slinky by the strings and let it dangle, then stick the foam cup between two of the coils. 3. Lightly pull the Slinky back and let it go. The cup will amplify the sound and you can make great sound effects! What happens if you use a different size of cup? What happens if you put the cup at different places on the Slinky? What’s the Science? When an object vibrates, it causes tiny air molecules to move. These tiny invisible ​ ​ ​ ​ particles bump into each other, traveling until they reach our ears. The outside part of our ear, called the pinna, is shaped so it funnels the air molecules down into the ear, ​ ​ where they bounce off the stretchy membrane we call the eardrum. When the membrane bounces, it also vibrates, making the tiny bones in your inner ear vibrate as well. This helps send the vibrations into a curvy organ sort of shaped like a seashell, called the cochlea, where they are turned into electrical impulses that go to ​ ​ your brain, and we process them as sounds. #ScienceWorksOnline ScienceWorksMuseum.org © 2020 Not all sounds move at the same speed! When the end of the Slinky hit the floor, vibrations traveled back up it and were amplified, or made more powerful, by the cup.

Rings has garnered millions of fans around the world. The stunning film tril- ogy by Peter Jackson was groundbreaking, beautiful, and, as expected, hugely successful. The Lord of the Films is a unique guide to those films, and author J.W. Braun tackles every scene in each movie on four different fronts: a closer look at the plot and the action, behind-the-scenes information, a reveal of mistakes that THE UNOFFICIAL GUIDE TO slipped through, and audiences’ reactions. In addition to Jackson’s famous TOLKIEN’S MIDDLE EARTH ON THE BIG SCREEN trilogy, other Tolkien-based films (such as the animated adaptations) are covered. As an added bonus, Braun reveals details about the prequel films currently in production and due out in theaters in 2011 and 2012.

  • Transcript of Workin' on the Death Star
    1 You’re listening to Imaginary Worlds, a show about how we create them and why we suspend our disbelief. I’m Eric Molinsky. I was at WinterCon recently, which is like a miniature ComicCon held at a Casino in Queens. I like going to these mini-ComicCons because they’re more casual than the big ones, and you can get to know people. I was talking to this guy named John. He’s a member of the 501st Legion. It’s a charity organization of people who dress up as Stormtroopers. And their costumes are dead-on perfect. He does it because he loves seeing the faces of kids when he marches into a room. JOHN: I think if a Stormtrooper walked into your classroom, you’re lose your mind before Han Solo. EM: And with costume you can be Stormtrooper, You can’t be Harrison Ford of 1983 all the sudden. JOHN: And who would want to be? But yes, there’s a certain level of autonomy, nobody knows what you look lie you get a lot more attention wearing helmet but all for good cause, raise money for charity our love of SW made that possible. Being inside the Stormtrooper uniform, do you sympathize for them? JOHN: Also ways Wilhelm scream, guy who bumped head on DS, look Luke and Han, look Rebel Legion, they have good Han’s and Luke’s but I don’t know maybe the Dark Side appeals to me than the light side. It’s a lot more fun. I’ve been thinking about Stormtroopers lately for two reasons.

  • Wilhelm List
    The Wilhelm Scream 217 titles, and counting! Although motion pictures are the main focus, some television and other media have been included. Dates listed are for original US debut. Numbers following description are the Wilhelm “take” used (4-6 being the “classic” screams). This list is verified to the best of the ability of a panel of sound effects professionals (who, in many cases, were responsible for including Wilhelm in the following titles themselves). Some screams have been edited, altered, mixed with other elements, lowered in level, or even removed from some versions of these titles. Distant Drums (Dec 25, 1951) Three Indians are shot, one after the other. (4,5,6) A man is bitten and dragged underwater by an alligator. (5) Springfield Rifle (Oct 25, 1952) Sgt. Snow (Guinn Williams) thrusts his sword into a horse rustler. (4) The Charge at Feather River (Jul 11, 1953) Wilhelm is struck in the leg by an arrow. (4) A soldier is hit with a spear. (4) Chief Thunder Hawk gets stabbed by Archer and rolls down a hill. (4) The Command (Jan 15, 1954) An Indian is shot off his horse during an attack on the wagon convoy. Them! (Jun 16, 1954) Giant ants attack the crew of a ship at sea. (1,6,4) James Whitmore is throttled to death by a giant ant. (4,6) A soldier is struck by falling debris in the sewer. (5) A Star is Born (Sep 29, 1954) While Judy Garland tries to find her way out of a theater during a screening, a Wilhelm is heard in the movie that is playing there (actually Charge at Feather River.) (4) Someone screams in the rehearsal record of “Somewhere There’s a Someone” that Judy Garland plays for James Mason.
